12 Precautions The precautions provide safety guidance when working with Forcepoint appliances and electrical equipment. Safety precautions Read the safety information and follow the procedures whenever you are working with electronic equipment. General safety Follow these rules to ensure general safety. Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter. The appliance weighs approximately 44 lbs (20 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the appliance, two people at each end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs. Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to keep your system operating if there is a power failure and to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes. If you need to switch off or unplug the appliance, always wait at least five seconds before turning on or plugging in the appliance again. Operating precautions Do not open the power supply casing. Only the manufacturer's qualified technician can access and service power supplies. Keep the cover in place when the appliance is on to ensure proper cooling. Failure to adhere to this guidance could void your warranty. Additional safety information can be provided upon request. Electrical safety precautions Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from damage. Know the locations of the power on/off button and the emergency turn-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet for the room. If an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off power to the system. When working with high-voltage components, do not work alone. Turn off the system and disconnect the power before removing or installing system components. When working with electrical equipment that is turned on, use only one hand. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which causes an electric shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards the tools come into contact with. Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electric shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been designed as electrical insulators. The power supply cable must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet. 12

13 Power supply safety precautions Depending on the type of power supply that your Forcepoint NGFW appliance uses, different safety precautions and installation guidelines apply. Note: If the appliance has two power supplies, we recommend that you use both power supplies for redundancy. AC power supplies The appliance power inlet is the disconnect device on the appliance. DC power supplies The appliance must be used in a restricted access location and users must be well trained to operate it. The outlet for the appliance must be installed near the appliance and be easily accessible. We recommend using, at maximum, a 30A fuse (slow) and a power switch between the appliance and the main power source. The appliance must be protected against electric shock and must have, at minimum, a 12 AWG wire provided for the DC power supply. The mains supply plug on the power supply cable is the disconnect device on the appliance. To disconnect the appliance, you must first disconnect the mains, then disconnect the ground. 13

14 Install the appliance Prepare and install the appliance in your network. Before you begin Install a Security Management Center (SMC) on a separate server. Configure the Security Engine element (Firewall, IPS, or Layer 2 Firewall) in the Management Client, and save the initial configuration. Note: For additional information on SMC installation and initial configuration, see the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Installation Guide. Inspect the appliance, the delivery box, and all components included in the shipment. Note: Do not use damaged appliances or components. Rack-mount the appliance The rack-mounting procedure varies depending on the type of rack unit. If needed, see the documentation for your rack unit. Important: Read the safety precautions before you rack-mount the appliance. Do not install the appliance upside down. Preparing for rack-mounting The rack-mounting kit includes the mounting screws and the rail assemblies or rack-mounting brackets to install the system into the rack. Determine the placement of each component in the rack. Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first. Install components from the bottom to the top. The appliance must be connected to a grounded power outlet. Use a UPS to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating if there is a power failure. To maintain proper cooling, always keep the front door of the rack and all panels and components on the appliances closed when not servicing. 14

15 Install a 6205 appliance in a two-post rack Use the short rack-mounting brackets to secure the appliance in the rack. 1) Attach a short bracket to each side of the appliance with one screw through each of the two grooves. 2) Attach the brackets to the rack with four screws through the holes in the front of the brackets. CAUTION: Use all four screws to attach each rack-mounting bracket to the rack. Using fewer screws might not provide sufficient support and can damage the appliance. 15

16 Install a 6205 appliance in a four-post rack Use the long rack-mounting brackets to secure the appliance in the rack. 1) Attach a long bracket to each of the back posts of the rack. CAUTION: Use four screws to attach each rack-mounting bracket to the rack. Using fewer screws might not provide sufficient support and can damage the appliance. 2) Attach four screws to each side of the appliance. 3) Lift the appliance into the rack, and guide the screws in the side of the appliance into the two grooves of the bracket. The bracket is used to support the appliance when setting the depth of the appliance in the rack. 16

17 4) Attach the front panel to the front posts of the rack with two screws in each post. Result Install the SSD Install the SSD if it is not already installed. There are two SSD slots on the back panel of the appliances. Use only one SSD. 17

18 Note: We recommend fastening a grounding strap to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin and attaching the other end of the strap to the appliance. CAUTION: Uninstalled SSDs are sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge. 1) Press the release button on the SSD to release the lever. 2) Insert the SSD into the bay. 3) Push the lever down to lock the SSD into position. Install an interface module If needed, install any interface modules. Before you begin Read the safety precautions. Make sure any interface modules you install are the correct type for your appliance. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the modules or the appliance, do not install or remove any interface modules if the appliance is turned on. You must install an interface module or a placeholder module in each slot before making the appliance operational. If the appliance was delivered with a plate that covered the interface slot, you can cover the interface slot with the plate. Note: We recommend fastening a grounding strap to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin and attaching the other end of the strap to the appliance. 1) Locate the slot to install the module in. 2) If the interface slot is covered with a plate, unfasten the thumbscrew that attaches the plate to the interface module slot and remove the plate. Store the plate and the thumbscrew for later use in case you want to use the appliance without an interface module. 18

19 3) Push the module into the slot. The module is seated correctly when the module clicks in place with a click. Tip: Make sure that the sticker on the module cover faces up. Important: Do not insert the module in the wrong orientation. Inserting the modules incorrectly might damage the appliance and the modules and voids the warranty. Connect the cables Connect the network, management, and power supply cables. CAUTION: On appliances that have an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) port, do not connect a cable to the IPMI port. IPMI uses DHCP to acquire an IP address, which can cause a vulnerability risk. If an unauthorized user determines the IP address of the IPMI port and the system credentials, the user can access and manage the appliance remotely and compromise the security of the system. Copper cable types Use at least CAT5e-rated cables for gigabit networks. (IPS and Layer 2 Firewall only) Always use standard cabling methods. Use crossover cables to connect the appliance to hosts and straight cables to connect the appliance to switches or hubs. Speed and duplex settings Network interfaces at both ends of each cable must have identical speed and duplex settings. These settings include the automatic negotiation setting. If one end of the cable uses autonegotiation, the other end must also use autonegotiation. Gigabit standards require interfaces to use autonegotiation fixed settings are not allowed at gigabit speeds. (IPS and Layer 2 Firewall only) The settings for inline interfaces must be identical. All four interfaces the pair on the appliance and the interfaces on the two devices connecting to the appliance must have the same speed and duplex settings configured. Ethernet port mapping For appliances that have removable interface modules, Ethernet port names are based on the slot and port numbers. The first number in the name represents the slot on the appliance, and the second number represents the port on the slot. Example: eth2_0 is located on port 0 of slot 2. Slot 0 contains the fixed Ethernet ports. Slots 1 and higher contain the ports on the interface modules. The port numbers start at 0 and increase from left to right. During the initial configuration of the appliance, the Ethernet ports are mapped to the interface IDs that you defined in the Management Client. 19

20 The NGFW Initial Configuration Wizard displays the mapping between the interface IDs and port names. In the command line version of the NGFW Initial Configuration Wizard, Interface IDs appear in the Id column and port names appear in the Name column. This mapping can change if you replace an interface module. If the new module has a larger number of Ethernet ports, the interface IDs for the new ports start from the next free interface ID number. Use the new interface IDs to configure new interfaces in the Management Client, then refresh the policy on the engine to transfer the changes. See the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Product Guide for more information. CAUTION: Do not select the Clear action when modifying interface IDs in the NGFW Initial Configuration Wizard on the command line. Selecting Clear removes all mapping information between interface IDs and Ethernet ports, and restores the default values. Example: You have seven interfaces numbered 1 7, which includes a four-port module installed in slot 1. Figure 1: Original interface ID mapping If you replace the four-port module installed in slot 1 with a two-port module, eth1_2 with ID 4 and eth1_3 with ID 5 are removed. Figure 2: Changed interface ID mapping Connect network and management cables Connect the appliance to your networks. The management connection allows you to view the system console. Note: Ethernet ports are mapped to interface IDs during the initial configuration. The ports and port numbers of the physical appliance must match the interface definitions and interface IDs configured for the engine in the Management Client. 1) Determine which Ethernet ports to use and connect the ports to your networks. 20

21 2) Select one of these options for the management connection depending on the appliance model and features: Connect a null-modem cable to the console port of the appliance and to another computer for a terminal connection. Connect a monitor to the VGA port and a keyboard to a USB port. Note: The serial console is not enabled by default on some appliances and cannot be used for the initial configuration. To use the serial console after the initial configuration on these appliances, use the command sg-bootconfig on the engine command line. For more information, see Command line tools in the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall Product Guide for more information. Connect network cables to SFP ports If you installed an SFP interface module on the appliance or the appliance has an integrated SFP port, insert the copper or fiber-optic SFP transceiver into the port, then connect the cables. 1) Insert the SFP transceiver in the port slot until you feel the connector on the transceiver snap into place. Note: Make sure that the latch on the SFP transceiver is up when you insert the SFP transceiver in the port slot. 2) If the SFP transceiver has a rubber plug, remove the plug. 3) Connect the copper or fiber-optic cable to the SFP transceiver. Note: Each SFP port must match the wavelength specifications at the other end of the cable. The cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. Connect the power supplies Connect cables to the power supplies on the back of the appliance. Before you begin See the safety precautions topic for information about power supplies. We highly recommend these configurations. On appliances that have two power supply modules for redundant power sources, connect both power supplies to a power source. This ensures that the appliance can function if one of the power connections fails. Use a UPS to ensure continuous operation and minimize the risk of damage to the appliance in case of sudden loss of power. For a truly redundant power supply, connect each power connector on the appliance to a different UPS, so that the failure of one UPS does not cut power to both power supplies. 21

22 1) Connect the power cables to the AC or DC power connectors on the back of the appliance. 2) Plug the power cord into a grounded, high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. Related concepts Safety precautions on page 12 Maintenance Forcepoint NGFW appliances ship with several replaceable components. Turn off the appliance Turn off the appliance from the engine command line. 1) Connect to the engine command line. Depending on your appliance type, use one of these options. Connect a keyboard to a USB port and a monitor to the VGA port, then press Enter. Connect a computer running a terminal emulator program to the appliance console port, then press Enter. Connect using SSH. Note: SSH access is not enabled by default. 2) Enter the logon credentials. The user name is root and the password is the one you set for the appliance. 3) Enter the command halt. Replace the power supply The power supplies are replaceable. CAUTION: Do not open the casing of a power supply module. Power supply modules can only be repaired by a qualified technician from the manufacturer. Note: We recommend fastening a grounding strap to your wrist so that it contacts your bare skin and attaching the other end of the strap to the appliance. 22
